What does CSO mean, which is indicated at the valves on a chemical process diagram?

While reviewing the design process drawings, I noticed that CSO is marked next to some valves; I’m not sure what it means. I would appreciate it if the experts could provide some guidance
C.S.O means the car seal and the seal are open, indicating that the valve is open; it also means that the valve must not be closed without approval.

CSO is the abbreviation for Chemical Shut-Off, which means the shutdown of chemicals. On chemical process diagrams, the CSO notation is commonly used to indicate that the flow of chemicals needs to be stopped at a certain valve. This may be to carry out repairs, replace equipment, or adjust operating conditions. When a CSO mark appears on a valve, the operator needs to shut off the corresponding fluid or chemical at that valve. .
Thank you to all the teachers for their guidance:handshake
CSC lead seal closed means that the valve sealed with lead is closed. CSO lead seal open / car seal open indicates that the valve, which was sealed with a lead seal, is now open.
